:behindsofa: For what it's worth......I believe that just after BBSguy joined the forum, Story Wilson made the announcement that he was going to bring out the "Misunderstood" "Free" software package for the P38 in the very near future. This led to a minority of members stating that if Storey could do it, why couldn't BBS.
BBS did a special offer on a system for forum members which Mattstevenson organised a bulk buy at an attractive price and all credit is due to Matt for his efforts in taking the arrangements on board as Co-Ordinator for the purchase.
A certain number of members "Ganged up" on BBSguy and things started to get personal with remarks pointed at profiteering and self interest as the primary reason for joining the forum when in fact many posts related to helpful answers to members questions which made no reference to the products he manufactures and sells.
It now transpires that the P38 software package from Storey Wilson is low on the list of priorities and release dates and in fact is far from free of charge.
A lot of unnecessary ****e was thrown at BBSguy, he managed o.k. before joining the forum and like any normal person, I believe , thought "I can do without this crap" and walked away.
I have been a member here for quite a while and can give and take the humoured slagging that goes on. However we should all remember the core values of the forum which is to offer support on technical problems and genuinely create a means of communication between fellow members.
By all means keep the banter going, that's what makes the forum so special and unique compared with the others.
